Back to the current day and in comparison to yesterday's upload, a shortline that is very much not shabby in appearance.

Soo Pacific 2719 switches cars at Ladysmith WI. after a roundtrip to Junction City on Fathers Day 2001. Her next chapter might put her back on display in the town of Eau Claire WI. Too bad for an engine that should still be running.
The ICTF switcher pulls a string of double stacks at the north end of Dolores Yard. These SD60Ms were primarily in yard and local service by this point. Most would be off roster within a few years. Today, a large fence spoils most of the photo opportunities here.

The Caddy wanted to go to the steam plant while the rescue crew had other ideas. Some blocking and a few tugs on a stout chain persuaded the car onto the proper path. Notice the orange parking ticket.
WAAAAY out in the boondocks of Wyoming, after several miles of the poles being on one side of the road, why did they switch?
Don't we all have a tendency to get into routines, doing things the same way over and over, just because that's how we've always done them. Routines can be a trap that prevent us from seeing opportunities and experiencing life.
Here's a thought; what if you're so intimately involved in your life that you have lost perspective? Like a frustrating problem that you can't walk away from.
The way out of that trap is to get out of your routine. Make an effort to experience something new, really new and different, every day. Make it a point to take alternate routes to familiar places. Try a new kind of food. Adjust the lighting differently. Re-arrange your furniture. The list is limitless and so are the possibilities.
Step back, look at the things you do every day, and ask yourself "why?" Then look at the things you've never thought you could do, or never considered doing, and ask "why not?"
Take yourself to the places where you have never been, in the people you don't know much about. One place to do such activity is Hunza. With all its mystery and grandness Hunza takes you out of the routine and for sure stun you with the atmosphere and history.
The only way you can take control of your life is to switch off the auto-pilot and steer your way into this world.

When you read you surely felt this feeling of leaving reality, living some one else's life jumping, laughing endlessly in your own made up world that exists secretely in your mind and no one is possible to manipulate or destroy it. When I've read a book which plot fascinated me so enourmously, even days after, I am dizzy, rewiniding the smallest details in my head, learning the most beautiful passages by heart and thinking what a great loss the death of one person was, I can get really sad, thiking what a loss for the world it is - BUT wait stop, it's only a book. No one died here. But thiking of the fate of the characters makes me thinking of human's fates and I am sure there is a person who experienced and felt things the protagonist felt, so I assure me I can be sad, for a person I've never known and never going to meet.

Went for a walk when waiting for a friend's train. For the middle of August, the leaves looked like autumn.
One of the many things I enjoy about running with CSX local B724 is the ability to see some customer service up close and personal. Indeed, I've watched them switch out all of the publicly accessible businesses. Ken's Foods, the maker of barbeque sauce and salad dressings, is supposed to get a switch on Monday, Wednesday and Friday. However, this particular week CSX couldn't muster a spare crew Friday, so the regular crew did an emergency switch on Sunday, when the plant is mostly closed. As for the door, the day was nasty hot and humid, literally 90 in the shade. I had a chat with the crew, who told me 6216 didn't have air conditioning, but they could close it if necessary. On a day like that, I didn't consider it so, which they very much appreciated. In the grand scheme of things, no big deal.
310068 enters London Euston with a local service on 8th August on 1984. Introduced in 1963, these Derby built AM10s were the mainstay of fast electric services in the Midlands and London lasted just into the new century, the last sets being withdrawn in 2002.
There appears to be a huge number of switch diamonds in this part of the station throat at Euston.
